Fug or Fab: Hailee Steinfeld

Listen, we all know how much Heather and I love Hailee Steinfeld. I just think she seems so AWESOME and so charming and so age-appropriate. Like, she never looks like, as I once would have said, a total hoochie. Even if I don’t love what she’s wearing, it is always something that I would let my own 15 year old daughter wear, if I had one, which I do not, although technically that would be possible, and now please excuse me, I have to go put on some eye cream:

Comments (37):

I love creamsicles and, usually, anything that reminds me of creamsicles BUT I really wish this had been a wide orange sash instead of the faux bustier. And I also wish the sides didn’t hike up like they do. She is adorable, though, isn’t she?

I’m with Sally. Not a fan of the coral inset. This would have been better if the coral had been a sash OR had this ensemble been all one color (either coral or ecru). Even with the odd faux-bustier, she still manages to be cute.

She has such an amazing track record of lovely, age appropriate clothes that I almost wonder if this was picked for her — and not by her usual stylist. She is the face of the current Miu Miu campaign and this is what she wore at their runway show. I almost wonder if the people at Miu Miu dressed her for the event.

I really don’t see what’s so fugalicious about this. The shoulders are fitting a little wonky, and I think her hair could have gone a little less American Gothic, but I think this is a cute dress and I love the turquoise/coral combination. It just seems like a relatively cute but unremarkable look. But whatevs, different strokes.

I like the shape and colors of this dress, but it looks cheap! In fact, I am nearly positive that it is made out of wrapping paper. Also, I love her! A fifteen-year-old dressing, acting and looking like a fifteen-year-old? It cannot be! She is a breath of fresh air! Seriously, though.

I’m with Kate: Steinfeld is awesome, but no. This does look cheap, and I think the cheap look of it makes it look too young for her, if that makes sense. It brings to mind a naughty nurse costume from Ricky’s.

Very Very FUGLY, the fit and/or material are hideous… especially the material as it seems to be made out of… plastic? Like coloured plastic bags maybe? It’s project Runway gone horribly wrong., it’s too short – it oddly looks like a really tiny tots length on her as she’s not sexy vixen looking, she a cute teenager, who looks like a cute teenager, even in this, it’s all so… gah!
It is unworthy of her, and if that’s a huge bow on the back I’m gonna throw up!

I’d love to see the back, I feel like I’m casting a somewhat ill-informed vote. That being said, I feel that the major problem with this dress is that it doesn’t fit properly. The top part above the coral ‘bustier’ shouldn’t be so rumply. Although the sheen of the fabric might be creating problems that don’t exist outside of a flash photo.

Oh hey, love the purse all you want.
But it has no business being attached to this outfit.
Sweetheart neckline?
No, that would be if things ended with the coral material.
This whole ensemble looks like someone played with paper dolls,
while they were on drugs.

I want to make the middle unwrinkled. I think that would fix the wonkiness there. The length is adorable, and I love the concept of the color blocking. Plus those colors are super-flattering with her skin/hair. I <3 HER SO.

@Christopher D – yeah, but this would get you AUT on PR because Tim Gunn has been VERY CLEAR that when you go to the party/grocery/pet store the judges HATE IT when you just use tablecloths or wonton wrappers or horse blankets or some other fabric substitute.

Also, it doesn’t fit very well and if it weren’t so ugly it would be twee. That is all.
